When launching a file from outside the main screen (file association, shortcut,
drag-and-drop), the info hasn't been computed yet, so the file type and ID checks
that decide what to do with the file were reading empty data. Add
GameInfo::WaitUntilReady() - a condition variable signalled from
MarkReadyNoLock(), which every exit path of the work item goes through - and use
it there.
Also demote a noisy PRX decryption log line to DEBUG.

pspDecryptPRX() tried types 0, 1, 2, 5 and 6. flash0:/vsh/etc/index_XXg.dat -
the index of what the XMB shows, fetched through sceResmgr_9DC14891 - needs
type 9, so it failed and the shell had no menu to build.
Type 9 is type 6 with three differences, all following from a type 9 file
carrying a real ECDSA signature at 0x104..0x12C where a type 6 file has nothing:
- The "must be empty" header check stops at 0x104 instead of 0x10C. The index's
signature starts there, so 8 of its bytes were failing type 6's check - the
original failure.
- The signature is left out of the hashed header rather than fed into it. JPCSP
zeroes buf2[0x34..0x5C), which is that same range once its header
rearrangement is undone, so PRXType9 just leaves the field zero.
- ecdsa_hash in the KIRK CMD1 header stays 0. Type 6/7 set it, but the branch
type 9 takes writes only the mode word, and setting it made KIRK reject the
block.
Tried last in the chain: its header check is a subset of type 6's, so a genuine
type 6 PRX would pass it and then fail on the hash, and trying it earlier would
shadow the real answer. False positives are not really possible either way - the
SHA1 check inside has to match before anything is decrypted.
Verified end to end: 496 bytes in, 159 out (the comp_size in the header),
starting "release:". sceResmgr checks that prefix and says so in its log line,
since a wrong-but-plausible decrypt would otherwise look like success here and
fail much later as an unreadable index.
The VSH now draws something different - the per-frame display list settles at 24
stall points rather than 38 - but what it shows is not visually confirmed;
framebuffer readback doesn't work under headless on either backend.

Found the cause of the red error screen the VSH ends on. Every resource load in
the boot succeeds - fonts, all the plugin RCOs, topmenu_icon.rco - and then:
sceIoOpen(flash0:/vsh/etc/index_02g.dat) -> fd 8
sceIoRead(8, 092a2d40, 496)
sceIoClose(8)
unresolved import sceResmgr/9dc14891, called from 'vsh_module'
sceKernelExitDeleteThread(1)
index_02g.dat is the index of what the XMB displays, and it is encrypted (it
starts "PSPsysGP"). sceResmgr_9DC14891 decrypts it. There was no sceResmgr module
at all, so the call trapped, the index stayed encrypted, and the ScePafJob thread
building the top menu exited - a shell with everything loaded and nothing to show.
This adds the module and the three tags it needs (0x0B2B90F0/91F0/92F0, keys and
code 0x5C) to PrxDecrypter.
It is not the whole fix yet: pspDecryptPRX() tries decryption types 0, 1, 2, 5
and 6, and this needs type 9, which JPCSP passes explicitly. So the call is now
reached and fails cleanly with a logged error instead of trapping, but does not
yet decrypt. Type 9 is a variant of type 2 and is the next job; the notes in
docs/VSHBootInvestigation.md say where it is in JPCSP and how to check a port
(159 bytes out, starting "release:").

An updater's DATA.PSAR is a flat sequence of records - each is 0x150 bytes of
PRX-style encryption header, a 0x110 byte entry describing one file, and then
its compressed contents. So to get the files, you don't actually have to run it
and let it self-unpack - we can just do it.
Two steps per record. First "demangle": the 0x130 bytes at +0x20 are AES-CBC
encrypted on top of everything else and hide the PRX tag at +0xD0, so a KIRK
CMD7 pass with keyseed 0x55 comes first. Then the record is an ordinary PRX blob
for the decrypter we already have, once it knows the tag - 0x0E000000, which is
new here. Its key needs the kirk7 scramble applied, unlike every other key in
that table, which are stored already scrambled; hence the flag on TAG_INFO.
UnpackPSAR() takes a prefix filter, since the planned main use for this is pulling
flash0:/font out of an updater the user supplies (or from an ISO) rather than
extracting whole firmwares, although that can also be interesting for running
the VSH.
Tested on a 6.61 updater: 436 entries, all 418 files decrypt and decompress,
nothing fails. The contents are what they should be - 295 ~PSP modules, 61 PRF
files, 18 PGF fonts, and the encrypted XMB indices.
Two things it doesn't do yet. Every entry in that archive is named with a
five-digit token rather than a path; the real names live in tables 00001-00012
inside the archive itself, under their own separate encryption, so files come
out under the short name for now and the prefix filter can't match them.
And only the zlib compression format is currently supported.

Every decrypt type reads the tag at 0xD0, the compressed size at 0xB0 and key
data as far as 0x150, and writes a KIRK header into outbuf at a fixed offset
derived from sizeof(PSP_Header) - all without checking that either buffer is
that big. A PRX declaring a tiny psp_size therefore read past the end of its
input, wrote a 0xE0-byte header past the end of an equally tiny output buffer,
and handed KIRK "size - offset" as an unsigned underflow. The header write sits
behind the SHA-1 check, but the tag keys are compiled in and every hashed input
comes from the file, so that's arithmetic rather than luck. One size check at
the top of pspDecryptPRX covers all five types.
The module loader needed two things to go with it. Its "maybe it just isn't
encrypted" fallback checked for ELF magic at 0x150 of the *output* buffer, which
on the paths where decryption bails early has nothing written to it yet - so it
read uninitialized heap to decide, and then, if psp_size was under 0x150,
memcpy'd a negative length. It reads the input buffer now, which is what it goes
on to copy from anyway, and only when psp_size is big enough to hold what's
being tested.
Second, the returned size is just comp_size out of the file header, checked
against the allocated buffer by a _dbg_assert_ that isn't there in release. That
check is a real one now, folded into the existing sanity test next to it.
